Kingwood resident changes business name in Channelview

Resale shop now gives grandparents their own discount

For the past 32 years, Michael Sullivan and his family have provided customers with a full line of marine protective paints and coatings through their Channelview business, Sea-Master Marine Coating.

As of March 1, Sea-Master Marine Coating has changed its name to Mar-Max Supply. Under this new name, Sullivan has expanded his product mix to meet the needs of both industrial and commercial markets, including oil and gas, pipeline, facilities maintenance, fabrications and original equipment manufacturers.

Sullivan, a Kingwood resident who grew up in the business, has experienced every aspect of the company's operations, from stocking shelves to driving trucks, he said. His parents, Byron and Lynne Sullivan, opened the business in 1971 to serve customers in Texas and Louisiana. His dad died in 1991, but Sullivan's mother still works alongside her son.

He has seen the company grow from virtually no revenue to revenues in the millions.

"And I've enjoyed every minute of the business," Sullivan said.

Sullivan has enjoyed carrying on where his dad left off, and he appreciates the diversity of his customers and his interaction with them.

Mar-Max Supply is at 1223 Becker in Channelview. For more information, visit www.Mar-Maxsupply.com or call 281-452-6200.
